Does anyone really know the extent of Provorov's injury from last spring? Could it be that it was worse than we thought and that hampered his play early in the season? The summer is so short for NHL players. A serious injury takes more time to heal than four months or so. Then they start the next season encamp and they're still in the recovery stage. It could be that that was the situation with Provorov. Add to that Hakstol's use of him and there is the recipe for a down season.
